Morning, three days later.
Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!
“One, two, three, four!”
On the front page of the mansion, there appeared to be hundreds of people practicing simultaneously. However, there are some differences in training.
The people on the right of the main road practiced more intensely and violently. The people on the left side began to practice basic movements. Slowly but surely, not in a hurry. Follow instructions with all your heart.
Yep. They were the Sword of Mist division that the Ark had just formed three days ago.
Meanwhile, the main members of the Sword of Sufferings were also training more diligently than before. Those people seemed to become more motivated from not wanting to be overtaken by their juniors.
Expect Ark to immediately acknowledge them and find a way for them to progress to the next stage.
Meanwhile, beside the mansion appeared several people practicing. They were the ones that Ark personally chose from this city.
There are five people, Aisha, Angelica, Scorpio, Dedric, and Ian.
Aisha and Angelica trained together because they were on different levels.
As for Scorpio, Dedric, and Ian do basic exercises but are more intense than normal rows. However, they were also Ark marked as people who had yet to qualify for the evolution potion.
At least, Ark still lacked trust in the three of them.
Of the three of them, only Scorpio is quite used to it and begins to gain Ark's trust. Dedric and Ian have not long joined, so it takes time to be considered ‘layak’ in the eyes of the young man called Hades.
Swooshes!
Constantly swinging the sword, Dedric felt somewhat overwhelmed. Not only was his training experience lacking, his physical condition was also much weaker compared to when Ian first joined. So, he seemed to suffer more than his two comrades.
“Ugh!”
Seeing the state of Dedric, Scorpio continued to swing his sword while talking without turning his head.
“We are lucky enough to get into the eyes of the Chairman and get a shorter walk than the other members. If you can't hold on, then it's better to give up and follow these normal people.
Don't waste resources unnecessarily and disappoint the chairman.”
Hearing Scorpio's unfriendly speech, Dedric's expression turned ugly.
Ian was also a bit dissatisfied. But unlike Dedric who was directly selected, initially Ian also trained with the ranks of ordinary people in normal speed. Although now the training is more strenuous, but the man knows the advantages compared to ordinary exercise.
At least, the resources obtained are better and the increase is more visible. So finally he just kept quiet and continued to do the exercises.
Meanwhile, Dedric also continues the exercise while replying to Scorpio's words.
“If those Cursed Berserkers who are like addicts can do it, I can definitely do it too!”
Hearing the words filled with fighting spirit, Scorpio raised the corner of his lips. Still not turning his head, the man again said in a flat tone.
“From where we come from is not at all important. The chairman does not care at all whether we are from a large or small group, good or evil. What matters most is whether we have value or not.
If you want to compete with me, just sorry .. Big talk is completely pointless!”
SWOOSH!
“Thousand!”
Scorpio stops swinging the heavy iron stick and then throws it to the side. In contrast to his thinly-dried figure when it came to the Sword of Sufferings, he was now experiencing an earth-shaking change.
The tall bald man was now standing more upright. The muscles of his body looked sturdy, looking slender but filled with strength.
Compared to the junkie who was lacking rest and sleep before, now he looked like a well-trained warrior! A ferocious scorpion that could sting someone to death!
Looking towards the nearly collapsed Dedric, Scorpio raised the corner of his lips while saying.
“I hope you don't disappoint the Chairman, Rookie!”
After saying that, Scorpio went to the storage warehouse. Ready to help Gordon do his job.

Meanwhile, in Ark's office.
Sitting leaning back in his chair, Ark saw the scene outside the window. Although the visibility was reduced due to the fog, he could still see the people who were training vigorously.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
“Log.”
“Report, Sir. Everything goes with the plan you made.”
“En.” Ark nodded. “Thank you for your hard work, Roxanne.”
“An honor could help you, Mr.”
Roxanne slightly bowed, answering Ark's words politely. After raising her head, the woman then said.
“Please forgive me if it is impolite. However, may I ask you some questions that make me curious Mr?”
“Say.”
Ark responded casually. In addition to some things that he had deliberately hidden, the young man usually shared some things to the higher-ups of the group. So, he thinks it doesn't matter at all.
“Why did you receive the Blade of Areia and then form the Sword of Mist? Isn't that different from the plan you made before? I mean, how will you arrange them Mr?”
“Indeed. At first I had no intention of accepting people randomly as it caused more trouble. But there could be a change in the plan. Adjust the situation and conditions.
If you think the Sword of Mist is less useful, then you are wrong. Although not so strong and deliberately not too strengthened, but they have their own role as a supporter.
The Sword of Mist was made to deal with the people of this city. If other groups want to create problems, let them face them because we have our own busyness. There is something more important than facing other groups.
Moreover, the Sword of Mist would be responsible for mining and material gathering. Of course, there would be some people from the Sword of Sufferings who would captain a small team to help them search for materials around.
That way, the herb production line and equipment will run better from now on.”
Listening to Ark's explanation, Roxanne nodded. He looked towards the handsome young man. After some hesitation, the woman ventured to ask.
“Is there anything else Mr?”
“It ..”
Geck! Geck! Geck!
The sound of knocking on the door sounded. Ark glanced at Roxanne before saying.
“Log.”
The door opened, the figure of Jay wearing full equipment came into the room. He glanced at Roxanne then nodded lightly.
Roxanne looked at Ark and said.
“Because I have reported, I will excuse Mr.”
“En.” Ark nodded. “We continue talking later.”
After Roxanne leaves and closes the door, Ark turns his gaze toward Jay. Seeing the man in combat-ready condition, he said.
“Before leaving, once again I will give you a warning.”
Ark's expression turned even more resolute. He looked into Jay's eyes and said.
“The reason why you went to Golden Maple Group this time is not to make regular visits or visit parents. You're running errands. You understand what you have to do Jay?”
“I've distinguished other duties and interests. Take it easy, this time I won't let you down Ark.”
Seeing the serious expression on Jay's face, Ark nodded heavily.
‘May it be true.’
The young man then raised his hand.
“Remember the items you have to carry and don't forget to speak carefully with Mona. Do everything according to plan. Then you can go.”
“Understanding!”
Jay saluted before leaving.
After the people left, the office turned even quieter.
Ark gazed towards the golden frog that was on the table while casually eating fruit. Poking the cheek of the golden frog with his finger, the young man raised the corner of his lips while saying.
“It seems it is time we come to play, Little Frog.”
